Kenmore "Elite" Microwave Gliding Tray jumps Off Track

We purchased a Kenmore Elite Microwave Hood Combo in July 2007, Model # 721.80833500. It was manufactured in June 2006. The gliding tray and glass dish jump off the track. This problem began roughly 2 years after purchase. The microwave interior is clean and there are no visible reasons why this problem should occur. Based on other posts, apparently there is a manufacturing defect. When I called Sears to discuss the problem, their rep was only interested in selling us a "flat fee" of $129.00 for a service call. This after already planning to charge us $70.00 for a inspection call for our Kenmore "Elite" refrigerator, with the same tech! And, exclusive of any required parts! Though the idea of walking in to Sears and 'exchanging' the glass dish is amusing, is this part really the problem? The Sears service rep did not know. Shame on Sears for letting consumers bear the cost of their product design learning curve. I truly want to support our U.S. companies, but the lack of commitment to service and quality continue to erode my trust. Sorry you lost your HQ building in downtown Chicago.

The tray will not stay on track

Open box, huh? It may be possible that you don't have the right tray for that microwave.

Sears l kenmore microwave 665.60622000

Most Kenmore appliance manuals are available from Manage My Life. For the 665.60622000 microwave and range hood User's Guide, see http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/5728/KENMORE-Microwave-Hood-Combo-L0211211?brand_name_search=665.60622000 . This will load the PDF in the browser window if you have a PDF reader plugin. If you wish to download the manual, the direct link is http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/lis_pdf/OWNM/L0211211.pdf . You need Adobe Reader or a similar program to read the file. If you want only the Installation guide, start here: http://www.managemylife.com/mmh/owner_manuals/search?query=665.60622000 . Unfortunately, you will need to print your own copy from the PDF. (Alternatively, go to a print shop with the file on a flash drive and they will print the file for a fee.) Sears no longer has the manuals available for sale at Sears Parts Direct, http://www.searspartsdirect.com/partsdirect/part-model/Kenmore-Parts/All-Products-Parts/Model-66560622000/0582/0123370/P0080166/00001?blt=06&prst=&shdMod= .

I hope this helps.

Our Kenmore model 721.80833500 tray jumps off its track. This has progressively gotten worse over time and now the little end wheel on the rotating arm has broken off. The microwave still works and still...

Found 2 possible solutions on the net. (1) Check the engineering change at a Sears store. They reengineered the glass tray and the narrow plastic band the tray glides on. Get the new items from Sears. (2) Cut 1/4" out of the narrow plastic band the glass tray glides on. Possible solutions that look promising.

Kenmore elite microwave/vent hood model 721.80834500 turntable

I bought a Kenmore Elite Microwave Hood Combination Model 721.80823500 at Sears. The installer did not bring the parts to connect the vent to the pipe on the ceiling and never came back. I cannot find the vent/exhaust connetor part to have it installed. No one knows. I appreciate information or installer. Thanks.

Rotating ring/ Glide tray comes off the track -Elite Model 80803

Take your round glass tray and plastic three wheeled hoop to a local Sears store, open up the microwaves on display, find the one that is still using something similar, deftly trade out yours for theirs. The new wheeled plastic hoop wheels are slightly bigger and the glass tray raised guides are a bit longer, since the switch no problems like I had. Don't get caught. They do not have those parts for sale at the local Sears store.
